NEW DELHI: GetMeAShop, a Times Internet backed e-commerce platform, is offering a solution for small and medium merchants to sell their product globally by integrating PayPal, a leading digital payments company.

"We are excited to partner with PayPal to help all our GetMeAShop merchants accept payments internationally. Along with our market leading omni channel technology ecosystem to help them in running their business offline and online and by making the process completely hassle free, we can now enable and back them for a global footprint.

Providing a 360 degree solution in e-commerce, GetMeAShop has solidified partnerships amongst its 8000 registered merchants getting them onboard with PayPal. Along with enabling payments in a safer and more secure manner, PayPal offers seller protection which will protect the merchants online sales, minimise claims and chargebacks and help prevent merchant fraud. Founded in 1998, PayPal operates an open and secure payment platform that businesses use to securely transact with their customers online, in stores and increasingly on mobile devices. In 2015, 28% of the 4.9 billion payments we processed were made on a mobile device.

"Our partnership with GetMeAShop is in line with our vision to enable small businesses to sell globally. PayPal, backed by a strong risk and security infrastructure, presence across 200+ markets and a base of 192 million active consumer accounts is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in enabling these merchants access international markets and transact in a safe and secure manner," said Himanshu Rajpal, director, Paypal, small and medium business.

PayPal has 192 million active customer accounts.

The government's recent demonetisation move is the driving force behind GetMeAShop's initiative. The company has seen a 100 per cent increase in the number of queries made by merchants who want to setup an online store and receive digital payments.
